In search of the elusive eephus ball (II)

First things first, a Web Site du Jour that may spare you some of the unpleasantness that we faced on this leg of the trip: http://www.speedtrap.org/, wherein are listed some of the more notorious radar traps on United States highways. Two days of otherwise pleasant busman's-holiday touristing, with a baseball game to top it off, were spoiled by one of these traps, and consequently I have no intention of visiting southwestern Wisconsin ever again.

A week in a geologic roto-tiller (VII)

All good things must end, including this trip. After a fairly unsatisfactory night in West Yellowstone, we packed up and went back to the Upper Geyser Basin for one last bit of gazing, of which I must make an admission: that great shot of Grand Geyser from my earlier report was actually taken on this day. Poetic license and all that. Still no action from Giant Geyser, so I won't repeat the description of the joys of "the Cage", even though we did spend more time there before heading south. I will, however, make some remarks on geyser-gazer sociology.

Mainly more of the same today, with the main attraction (Giant Geyser) continuing to be coy. There was some fine wildlife watching to go along with the geyser gazing, however, and some excellent advice from the hard-core gazers led to a surprisingly good dinner in a place that I didn't know offered any edible food at all.

Labor Day, and the start of some serious geyser gazing. We saw a number of things we had never seen before, and had some close-up wildlife encounters. However, the thing that will stick in our minds from this day, entirely consistent with our experience on the Italian volcanoes, was the one we did not see -- just barely.

Mainly a travel day, so this will be short, with a minor rant along the way. No Web Site du Jour or photos, either. Just what is this world coming to?

So what is a "geologic roto-tiller"? Well, that's the colorful description applied to the terrain of Yellowstone National Park by a reference work that I'll get back to later (and recommend). Emily and I spent most of the past week at Yellowstone, seeing extraordinary things and meeting extraordinary people, and I will report on the trip at length. This first installment, however, simply deals with getting there, which was not as straightforward as it might be ...

Living it up (way up) among the Hardrockers

Let me start this one with the Web Site du Jour, which will explain some of the background for this trip: http://www.run100s.com/HR/, home page of the Hard Rock Hundred-Mile Endurance Race, based in Silverton, Colorado, USA. No, I'm not crazy, or fit, enough to run in this thing, but the article will give you a sense of the healthy-yet-happy weirdness of Silverton, where Emily and I spent a very pleasant weekend a couple of weeks ago.
